$A$ steel tape measures the length of a copper rod as $90 \ cm$ when both are at $10 \ ^oC$. What length (in $cm$) would the tape read for the length of the rod when both are at $30 \ ^oC$? $[\alpha_{st} = 1.2 \times 10^{-5} / ^oC$ and $\alpha_{cu} = 1.7 \times 10^{-5} / ^oC]$

  • A
    $89$
  • B
    $90.21$
  • C
    $89.80$

$A$ metal tape is calibrated at $25^{\circ} C$. On a cold day when the temperature is $-15^{\circ} C$,the percentage error in the measurement of length is (Coefficient of linear expansion of metal $= 1 \times 10^{-5} {}^{\circ} C^{-1}$) (in $\%$)

$A$ circular copper ring at $30^{\circ} C$ has a hole with an area of $9.98 \ cm^2$. It is made to slip onto a steel rod of cross-sectional area of $10 \ cm^2$, by raising the temperature of both the ring and the rod simultaneously by an amount $\Delta T$. If the coefficients of linear expansion of copper and steel are $17 \times 10^{-6} /{ }^{\circ} C$ and $11 \times 10^{-6} /{ }^{\circ} C$ respectively, then the minimum value of $\Delta T$ should be: (in $^{\circ} C$)
